    Shoot me down if this is too much or not possible.

    I thought it would be really cool to be able to send push notifications to my phone via SoundFlow.

    For example, I have a "set-it-and-forget-it" script that runs a batch of exports. I have an alert notification for if an error happens and when the batch is complete. Right now these alerts only show on my computer.

    It would be amazing if i could get a notification on my phone that tells me "your batch is complete" or "the batch had an error".

    I thought since SoundFlow already communicates with mobile devices via the app this is something that could be done, but i could be completely wrong.

    Just an idea. Thanks so much!

            I owe you a 6-pack of beer.
            This is super cool!

            Thank you!

            This would be a cool feature to be able to integrate with SoundFlow.
            @chrscheuer - Maybe SoundFlow v6....? LOL.

                I'm curious if there are any better solutions to this? I like IFTTT, but I hate the idea of having another app on my phone purely for this. the iMessage thing works, but it's marked as read the moment you send it. My workaround now is to utilize iphone's reminder app, which is a bit of a dead app for me and I can push the notification straight away like this. Curious on anyone else's more native solutions.

                This also allows me to update the variable throughout the script

                this creates a reminder with todays date and time, plus 10seconds as a bit of a buffer.

                function notifyUser(messageText) {

    sf.system.execAppleScript({
        script: `
tell application "Reminders"
    set theTitle to "${messageText}"
    set theDueDate to (current date) + 10
    set theReminder to make new reminder with properties {name:theTitle, due date:theDueDate}
    save theReminder
end tell`
    });
}

//example notifications
notifyUser("Main deliverables complete");
notifyUser("Grouped Stems Complete");
notifyUser("Individual Stems Complete");

                etc
